Where is the brake lights on a 1998 Nissan Frontier XE?
The 1998 Nissan Frontier is wired so one bulb indicates braking and parking light use. This is accomplished with a double-fliament bulb.

Explain which circuit you would use to light a bulb as bright as possible...a series or parallel circuit?
Think of it this way: If you want a lot of water to flow into one place, would you divide the river? However, it's irrelevant in this case, because the light bulb can only take a certain amount of current and voltage before it burns out. You can have amazingly bright for a millisecond or fairly bright for a long time. Your choice.
How do you puncture a light bulb?
With great care. The standard light bulb is comprised of a continuous glass housing. The only thing that goes through the glass are the two wires that provide the current pathways to the inside of the envelope where the filament is. To create a hole in a bulb requires a lot of patience, a lot of care and the use of some sort of abrasive tool to grind the hole. Though it might be possible to create a hole by actually drilling it, it is improbable that one could do it without ending up breaking the bulb. The glass isn't that thick, and because the surface is round, smooth and hard, it would be exceedingly difficult to get the drill bit to bite (start). A very small rotary abrasive bit in a dremel tool is probably the best bet. Eye protection is a MUST and hand protection is strongly recommended. Oh, and you are being warned up front: be very careful about what you do with your light bulb with the hole in it. Aiight?
